Tzaban–Paolini–Shelah conjecture on the profinite-group cardinal invariant

From papers

Let GG be an infinite metrizable profinite group. The cardinal invariant coperatornamefm(G)coperatorname{fm}(G) is associated with GG, and coperatornamenon(N)coperatorname{non}(\mathcal{N}) denotes the uniformity of the null ideal.

Tzaban–Paolini–Shelah conjecture. For every infinite metrizable profinite group GG,

non(N)fm(G).\mathrm{non}(\mathcal{N}) \leqslant \mathfrak{fm}(G).

If true, this would, together with the preceding result, imply that every infinite metrizable profinite group has a non-Haar-measurable subgroup. The conjecture is resolved negatively by the consistency result exhibited in the paper.
